London, Drinking the Kool-Aid

The opening as seen through my eyes, the same as your eyes.

Grant's face was all over London, what a handsome man.

Paul from Elms Lesters, at Elms Lesters...

Inside the gallery, some professional style vinyl lettering, and a case with some recent and new books in it...

The first wall had a mini cluster...

A straighter look at the first wall...

Another wall, wall two if you will.

Wall three.

The 4th wall...

And the hallway...

The outside of Slam City Skates in lovely Neal's Yard, Covent Garden. Grant rears his beautiful face...

Lets fuck up that face by putting mine in there.

We're not in Europe anymore...
6722p1020276.JPG
The opening was prety crazy. I don't know how many people came, it had to be over 500. Over 300 people alone RSVP'd for the free beer...

This was at the end when things were getting a bit thinner...
6722p1020278.JPG
Tim was trying to tell me in Belgium, my shows are pussy attractors. Meaning lots of young pretty girls come. That may or may not be true...
6722p1020279.JPG
At one point it was shoulder to shoulder, you couldn't even move.
6722p1020281.JPG
Clifford came all the way from Liverpool to see the show. What a homie! Thanks Clifford!
6722p1020282.JPG
Here's a shot that shows how packed it was...

I went over to Valerie Phillips' opening the street over to see what was up. The cops were busting it up. Too many people in the streets. Check her work out!

London,Giddy London. Ed Templeton's on FIRE!!!look at his art go.

Photo #13,sooo English.
Ed,I'm guessing you're killing it in the art world? Congrats on all the people loving you.
Pussy attraction...well then,that's another plus for attending these things. Shit,like classes I take in Highschool and some dude I know in college are pussy attractors. My Humanities, Painting,Anatomy/Physiology,and French class did/does have a lot of girls in them. I wonder if that makes me a wimpy nerd.
whatever.
Humans use their brains to process things,and light reflects into their fucking eyes. So i dunno.
I bet some punk rock guy knocked those books down. He was like "Oy,you bloody tossers" then he knocked your little books over.Now someone has to go through the work to put them back.
I talk too much.

Really big show!!! That poster scab nosed kid has "the look" like johny depp and james dean did. Congrats on an awesome show, though one still struggles with "being human".

hooray for the coitus photo!
and the rest of them as well, they look bloody intriguing.
one thing is to be surrounded by hordes of chicks,
another is if you happen to like chicks and rather look at them or make make an effort to actually talk to them.
i opt for both
simultaneously.
grant, so hot right now.

Did Loudon Wainwright just comment this site?

Did it wreak like fish & chips, along with gross teeth?
The only English thing about me is my teeth.

Did someone blast \"Wild in the Streets\" by any chance??

I got a Toy Machine board. One of the \"been used\". Thanks Devin, & Ed.
Devin also hooked Carolyn up with some wheels, bearings, & trucks for a board, which I gave her. Thanks x2.

Your shows do attract pretty women. Old or young. whatever you prefer. The Seconds Pass show had every hipster from LA & Dylan Reider there..

Grant girlfriend comment!!! Is it stupid to be afraid to say hello to Grant & Rob??? I saw them at Cherry yesterday, & choked up.

I was suppose to get some footage yesterday, but no dice.

I gotta skate today.

shipping is 8 bucks for that poster
Posted By: crayons on April 12th, 2010 at 03:26PM PST
That's the catch I guess, the poster is less than a penny, but the shipping will get you...

FREE poster + shipping...
Posted By: ed on April 12th, 2010 at 04:07PM PST
= get the fucking poster you wanker.

We're all full of English talk.

I'm serious.. Did Loudon Wainwright just comment on this blog???

Devinbriggs.com is trademarked? Why do I comment 3 times a day. I have no life.
Posted By: Jacob on April 12th, 2010 at 04:45PM PST
Yes,dear Edward. That show was brilliant.
Only another Vegan could put a show on that's this beautiful. Grant is a charming man. Must of gotten a thorn in his nose.

Ed, you're show was as tasty as mama's home-made sweet lime pie!

more for the horndogs!
Posted By: your overlord on April 14th, 2010 at 10:08AM PST
Obviously another great opening!
Congrats!
The poster is great but finding an appropriate place to put it may be another question entirely. Not be cause Deanna's nude but more because she has a scary robot arm.
Socks.
